I have just installed Xen-3.4.2 (x86_32 version) and dom0 on an old test machine with P4 3.0G CPU. The on-board Realtek 8169 NIC cannot be recognized.

But in Xen-linux, the last line was missing. I am guessing dom0 kernel failed to probe PCI bus 02:xx.x
To try something more, I plugged an Realtek 8169 card in a PCI slot, in native Linux, the device was probed as:
02:01.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8169 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10)
And in Xen-linux, the probing failed again.
Help!
Thanks
